Three days before the event he announced he\u2019d be in attendance and literally challenged anyone who might dare to try him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cThis is my city. I run it. I\u2019ll be at UFC 322,\u201d Danis wrote. \u201cNo security, no fear. Send whoever you want, just nobody you want back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We\u2019ve heard reports that Danis was expecting to have a slightly less explosive run-in with Jorge Masvidal, but Dillon must have forgot about the large team of Dagestani fighters in the building supporting their teammate Islam Makhachev. \u201cEl Jefe\u201d had recently posted more than a few insulting things about Dagestan in general and Islam specifically, including several racist \u2018inbred\u2019 memes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">With that in mind, we really shouldn\u2019t be surprised that things kicked off between Danis and several fighters associated with Makhachev just before the PPV portion of UFC 322 started. <a

rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Watch all the videos here.<\/a> There\u2019s still no footage of the initial spark, but we do see the middle and end: there\u2019s Danis getting punched numerous times from behind, and Danis losing a shoe as he\u2019s shoved into a barrier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Involved in the brawl based on video: Khabib Nurmagomedov\u2019s cousin and ex-UFC fighter Abubakar Nurmagomedov, and recent Contender Series signee <a

\u201cChanco\u201d Zaynukov,<\/a> the fighter everyone calls \u201cJohn Pork.\u201d Some doubts have been raised as to whether it was actually Zaynukov punching Danis but his Instagram includes footage of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2025\/5\/18\/24432572\/fans-destroy-jon-jones-swinging-hasbulla-around-little-child-this-might-be-worse-than-mike-tyson-ufc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">viral sensation Hasbulla<\/a> giving him the expensive tan sweater he\u2019s seen wearing as he beats on Danis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Another post from \u201cChanco\u2019s\u201d Instagram Story shows him back at the fighter hotel watching Shevchenko vs. Zhang.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cDamn this arena,\u201d the caption on the post read.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As for Danis, he was escorted out of the arena in the arms of a pack of security guards \u2026 much to the delight of fans, who threw middle fingers at the controversial fighter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup
